"Sienar" - Feels like a really great setting to build a series using learnings from Andor?

Feels like a slam dunk for a TV series concept that would keep a lot of fans happy.

Part "Right Stuff" "For All Mankind" and "Top Gun", Part "Succession" and "Severence".

The company exists all the way back to the Galactic Republic. You have a great framework to follow figures like Raith Sienar, and develop a dynasty type story, while contrasting with other characters in the organization (or family) who may be less happy about the company hitching it's star to the Galactic Empire. (We've already seen rebel infiltrators within the company in Andor).

Plenty of potential to advance the story in jumps over a long period, in a similar manner to Andor.

You have the whole TIE fighter development lineage to explore to keep the lore nerds happy, and a ton of potential for action sequences, loaded with conflicted stakes.

The story can go all the way through the most popular time periods with the fans, and then beyond to link up with whatever updated new republic era plans exist.

It would scratch that OG "TIE Fighter" desire to see more of the inside of the Empire, but you can also follow the example of Andor and illustrate the toxicity of it e.g. the pressure for cheap disposable ships that don't protect pilots.

It's also very easy to tie to other Star Wars projects. Old and new, without making the Universe feel smaller.

Is this something people would like to see?

Has this concept been suggested before?

How would people suggest building a series like this out?
